Unloading loading it was easy. Slid on my test table with two people. Moving it in the house and placing it on the stand was an all day job. Thinks to winches, engine pullers and a lot of omg we almost have it, just a little more honey. We have it. 8'X30'X32 thats a 10'X4' table

Going bare bottom but I want a pretty sand look too. So I tiled it. Found pretty 24"x24" tiles at a carpet place. There are two types, ceramic and porcelain.. you want the porcelain NOT the ceramic.. ceramic will leach out and break down if in water 24/7. Porcelain is made to be submerged like your toilet. This was learned after lots of phone calls.

Who wants more pics? I got sump done and it's running. Also got Lucy in today.

I think we all would love more pictures.

Meet Lucy. She is built with all the right stuff. She stands 51" tall when she is taking it easy. When she means business she can stack another foot on top of that. She is relaxing with a 2500 PSK.

Pretty sweet project you got going on bud. As someone who is from Florida, I envy the fact that you have a basement! There's so much room for activities down there. Looking forward to seeing this come along. You're off to a killer start.

 

[Saveafish]

This is the first for me having a basement. That's why every thing is spread all over. I'm like I have room scatter it all over. I need to tidy it.
